Supporting children through grief can sometimes feel difficult, especially when they don’t always have the words to explain how they’re feeling 🤍

That’s why we have our Letters to Heaven Children’s Activity Book - a gentle resource designed to help little ones process emotions, remember someone special and feel supported through bereavement.

Filled with thoughtful activities, writing prompts, drawing spaces, poems and memory ideas, the book encourages conversation, reflection and emotional support in a way that feels comforting and accessible for children.

The resource is available to support teachers, parents and families, with downloadable pages that can be used within schools or at home to help children explore and express their feelings around grief in a gentle and supportive way 🤍

(You're welcome to download and print the pages as needed 🌼)

Today is World Bee Day 🐝🌼

Bees play a vital role in supporting flowers, wildlife, and healthy ecosystems through pollination - helping nature around us to thrive.

Across our crematorium grounds, we are fortunate to see many bees enjoying our green spaces throughout the seasons 🌿

A small reminder today of the importance of protecting nature and the wildlife that surrounds us 💛

(This bee was given a helping hand in refuelling 🫶)

There are many beautiful memorial accompaniments available to help personalise a memorial garden and create a lasting tribute to the person or people it honours 🤍

If you would like to see further examples or receive more information, please do not hesitate to contact us - we are always here to help 🤍

“Grief is simply love with no place to go.” 💚

It’s a quote many people connect with, especially after losing someone important to them. For some, grief feels like sadness. For others, it feels like love, longing, anger, gratitude, or simply missing someone every single day.

Whatever grief looks like for you, please remember that you do not have to carry it alone 💚

Thank to Farleigh Hospice for inviting us to the annual breakfast meeting this morning.
It's a great time to catch up with the local Funeral Directors & other Crematoriums.
Most importantly it's wonderful to hear about everything you are doing. You are an inspiration to us all. The work you do is amazing & we hope to continue supporting you this year.
Thank you our donation certificate as well 🥰

" As soon as I walked into the office, it felt like a warm & friendly environment" 🥰

This is a comment made by a family this morning who came to see to Trina about a memorial.

If you are thinking about coming to see us to discuss a memorial, it can be quite daunting & we know how difficult it can be, especially when you are grieving. It's a big decision to make so we will take all the time we need with you, offer you refreshments & give you all the different options available.

Please call us to discuss this further if you'd like to 🥰

Sometimes, the people who help us most during difficult times are the ones who simply show up 💚

The friend who checks in.
The family member who listens.
The colleague who notices when things don’t feel okay.
The professional who offers support and guidance.
The person who sits beside us when we don’t have the words.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’d love to shine a light on those people too.

If there’s someone who has supported you, given advice, listened without judgement, or simply been there when you needed them most, tag them below and let them know how much it meant.

A small thank you can mean the world 💚

Our Chapel will be open for people to visit to remember those Father figures in our lives, whether with us or not.
You can take time to have your own thoughts.
Our memory tree will also be in the foyer so you can write a message on a tag & place it on there.💙

💙 Open Chapel 🩵

This year, we are going to be opening our Chapel after work, in honour of Dads or Father figures who are no longer with us.

There is no need to make an appointment, please just help yourself to some light refreshments & sit in the chapel to have your thoughts.

The memory tree will also be placed in the foyer, so you can write a message on a tag & place it, throughout the month of June.

❤️ ❤️ ❤️
